Great place to relax and unwind

My husband and I found this place on accident - just driving around and looking for a place directly on the Beach. What a find. Rooms are basic but the view and restaurant were great. Plenty for beach for long walks in the morning when the tide is out. People were freindly and the pool area was nice if you needed some shade. Power went out a few time but it was no big deal.

We heard about this open air restaurant from friends, it truly is a hidden gem. It is located off the hwy & down a long dirt road inside the Bay View Resort. It is pleasantly located on the beach side, we had full view of the pacific ocean watching the tide come in. There are palapas over the tables at the shoreline making the settling lovely. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, we had very good service. Meals were fresh, ample, and cooked just right. Calamari was excellent & don't forget to try the yucca fries. Bathrooms were very clean as was the resort. We would recommend this restaurant to our friends and would love to go back again soon.

After a horrific but very brief visit to Restaraunte y Cabanas Veraneras in Santa Clara, Panama (we actually found the first taxi out after 1 hour there due to the extremely unfriendly staff, very funky accommodations, dirty beach), we stumbled on the Bay View Hotel Resort in San Carlos, PN. Gracias a Dios!For a 2-3 star, very mid-range hotel (apprx. $76/night for two people), the Bay View exceeded our expectations on almost every front.We are seasoned & intrepid, typically mid-range budget, travelers and were just concluding our 3 month stay in Panama. We were looking for a decent, tranquil setting on the beach & not too far from PN City for our last 4 days in Panama to just relax, read, walk on the beach, etc. the Bay View was perfect. The rooms are simple, very clean, cold water only, satellite TV, air-con, free computer & wi-fi in restaurant only,with a nice pool, decent restaraunt, & a stunning beach front location. Another plus, the staff are uncommonly helpful & friendly. San Carlos itself is a cute, small Panamanian coastal pueblo about 1.5 hrs west of PN. City.

Room Tip: Our room #25 on the 2nd/top floor was fine. Quiet & convenient, possibly better than the first floor rooms as their are no guests above you.

Very nice resort. Rooms are ok - in need of an upgrade. Food is good, service is good. They try their best to do what they can for you. Many local families having fun. Very little English but the Manager tries.

We did not stay here, but we had drinks, dessert and breakfast here. The view is outstanding! The owner, hector was very personable and helpful. The food was good, prices very reasonable! Lemon pie was soooooo good ! The hotel has a cute, funky vibe to it. I did not see the rooms.

Have visited many restaurants during the first visit to Panama. A new friend suggested dinner at Bay View restaurant. The table was shabby, view outstanding and food average. The lobster salad was $30.00 USD alone! Way too expensive, drinks were weak and tasted as though they did not use the quality brand requested. Expect big city US prices, not Panama prices. Waay disappointed.

Room Tip: avoid this place.
